Said he would represent me , wouldn't allow me to talk it over with my wife. Stole $260 from me at my lowest point.

I set up a consult with JIM. Although on his website it says the Consultation is free. I met him at his home office and paid him $260 to speak about my case. Jim spent the entire time (1 hour) typing on his computer and didn't look over any of my case. I still thought I was going to move forward ...with him , Just needed to speak with my spouse about the options. Jim apparently was offended that I didn't sign his contract immediately so he booked another case then emailed me telling me he would no longer represent me. (this is all in less than 24 hours.) JIM STOLE $260 FROM ME AFTER HEARING THE TERRIBLE FINANCIAL SITUATION I WAS IN. He lied about being willing to take my case. THIS MAN WILL MISLEAD YOU ABOUT WHO HE IS AND WHAT HES WILLING TO DO FOR YOU.

We identified this individual after a period of time. He is an individual who presented himself in an intoxicated state. He was informed in advance that there was no charge to discuss his matter over the phone but if he came in for an appointment there was a charge. He was provided substantial services; no attorney would provide such information on a complimentary basis. He also appeared without the required fee. He was reminded that this was a fee bearing meeting at the commencement of the meeting. While he was provided with an unsigned fee agreement, we decided that he could not be provided legal services given his substance abuse and lack of credibility. He then became enraged and fabricated facts. Attorneys are no different than any other business or profession in having the right to decline service.

Wonderful Encounter!!!!!

I sought counsel from Jim Abrams for an employment problem. I must say that I hesitated based on one review amongst dozens of exceptional ones. I asked Mr. Abrams about this and he explained that, while he has not identified the individual trying to hurt him, there are attorneys who have experienced ...similar attacks after declining a case or advising a potential client that their case is not one of interest to the attorney. Mr. Abrams explained that while he had not confirmed the identity of the author, he did have one potential client that he recently declined to represent. That client was intoxicated when he spoke to Mr. Abrams. There were other attributes concerning that person which he could not share. As for my experience, it was an 11 on a 10 scale. I followed his advice and as a result, am transitioning from a difficult employer to a place where I know I will be happy and able to sleep at night with a separation from my last employment that was not unpleasant.. I am grateful that I found Jim Abrams. And, Mr. Abrams did not request that I write this review. I asked him if could before sharing my experience.

Transition planning - helping me get fair treatment from my employer

Jim, was the consummate professional. He helped me negotiate a separation agreement which worked for me and my employer. He coached me and guided me on a path which averted legal action. My employer knew that I had an attorney because of the tone and expertise reflected in the documents. His knowled...ge and background is powerful. His integrity is reflected in all that he does. He gave excellent counsel and was interested in my case.

Highly Recommended

I chose Jim to represent me in a case of unresolved work place harassment. He did a tremendous job at relaying my concerns and resolving the issues. He kept me informed on the current issues of the case, and guided me through processes. He provided me with valuable information on how to handle situat...ions when he could not be present, and he was very punctual in regards to returning phone calls and emails. I would recommend Jim to anyone seeking to resolve issues with a positive outcome. He is very knowledgeable about employment laws and his experience in the past with many different organizations proves his ability to comprehend each case and provide an honest opinion on the state of the matter. On a final note, he takes the time to explain the pros and cons of litigation and really seeks to understand your knowledge base and expectations. He seems to listen and accept your input, but he also ensures that you understand the costs and expenses, both monetary and emotional that litigation may bring upon you. Jim deserves 10/5 stars and I can most certainly say I am very satisfied with the services Jim provided.

5-Star Employment Attorney

Jim represented me against my former employer. From our first meeting, Jim was upfront, honest, professional and articulate. He is a seasoned professional. Due to his in depth knowledge and expertise with employment law, we won! I would recommend no other, than Jim.
